Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT07784751Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Ultrasound therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests a new treatment that uses ultrasound pulses to help people recover after a stroke. It may improve movement or language abilities.
Taipei, TaiwanAges Any age - NCT07137832RecruitingPhase 3
Testing clot-busting drug during stroke treatment for medium vessel blockages
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07231380Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove clots in stroke
This study tests two methods of removing a large blood clot from a brain artery during stroke. The goal is to see which method helps restore blood flow faster and more safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06121336Recruiting
Tracking a blood marker to measure stroke recovery
This study is looking at a protein in the blood called brain-derived tau, which may increase after a stroke. By measuring it over time, doctors hope to learn more about how the brain is healing and possibly predict recovery.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07361302RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke after 4.5 hours
This trial tests a clot-dissolving medicine called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It may help you recover if given later than usual.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07769814Recruiting
Better CT imaging for brain stent checkups
This study looks at whether a new type of CT scanner can take clearer pictures of stents in the brain. The goal is to help doctors see if the stent is working well after it's been placed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 5–90 - NCT07253181RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke clot-busting drug before transfer for artery clearing
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) before transferring you to a hospital that can do a procedure to remove the clot improves outcomes for people who had a stroke up to 24 hours earlier. You may qualify if you have a blockage in a large artery in the front of your brain and can still get the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07770035Enrolling by invitation
School-age outcomes after newborn brain injury
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (called hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, or HIE) are doing in school and daily life, compared to children without that history. It aims to understand the long-term effects and support needs.
Cork, CorkAges 5–12 - NCT06904911RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tenecteplase into the artery after clot removal for stroke
This study tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given directly into the artery after a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow to the small vessels in the brain after the main clot is removed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07098572Recruiting
Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a four-channel electrical stimulation device works better than a standard one-channel device for improving arm and hand movement in people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to help with recovery of daily activities.
Hermagor, CarinthiaAges 18–99 - NCT07764172Recruiting
Sarcopenia in acute ischemic stroke
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how muscle wasting affects recovery, which may help improve care for stroke patients.
MoscowAges 50 years+ - NCT07577336Recruiting
Portable MRI for brain injury in children
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI machine can take pictures of the brain at the bedside for children with brain injuries from lack of oxygen or blood flow. It may help doctors see the injury sooner and guide care without moving the child.
Kansas City, MissouriAges Up to 17 years - NCT07727395RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug after successful clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
An GiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04887688Recruiting
Electrical bandage for chronic wound treatment
This trial tests a new bandage that uses a mild electrical current to help heal chronic wounds. It's for veterans with spinal cord injuries or diabetes who have wounds that haven't healed.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07754110Recruiting
A therapy for balance and coordination after stroke
This study tests a therapy called HABIT-ILE to see if it helps improve balance and coordination in people who have had a stroke. If you have had a stroke affecting one side of your body, this might help you move better.
Mansehra, KpkAges 40–60 - NCT07491952Recruiting
Continuous Dual Aspiration for Stroke With Zoom System
This trial tests a new way to remove blood clots from the brain using the Zoom System with a continuous double-suction technique (CDAT). It aims to see how well this approach works for people having a stroke caused by a large vessel blockage.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06863155Recruiting
A thin heart stent for people on blood thinners
This trial tests a new type of heart stent in people who also take daily blood thinners. The stent is very thin and releases medicine over time to help keep the artery open, and the coating eventually dissolves. It may be a safer option for people on blood thinners who need a stent.
AlbaceteAges 18 years+ - NCT06322862Recruiting
Fluorescence test for blood flow in emergency bowel surgery
This trial tests if a special imaging technique (fluorescence) can help doctors see how well blood is flowing to the bowel during emergency surgery for suspected mesenteric ischemia. This could help them decide which part of the bowel to remove, if any.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05694663Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation to aid stroke recovery
This registry looks at people with a prior ischemic stroke to see how a device that stimulates the vagus nerve may support arm recovery. If you are planning to get the implant and can follow the program steps, your information may be followed to track progress and safety.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04989608Recruiting
Study links brain scan results with thinking after a TIA
This study looks at how brain imaging findings match up with thinking and memory in people after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like event). If you join, your role is mainly to contribute data from brain scans soon after the event, plus study questionnaires.
CaenAges 60 years+ - NCT04454203RecruitingPhase 4
Local anesthetic catheter to reduce tourniquet-related blood pressure spikes
This Phase 4 trial tests whether a local anesthetic catheter placed near a nerve and artery can prevent high blood pressure caused by a tourniquet during total ankle replacement surgery. If it works, it may make recovery safer and more comfortable for some patients.
